The new Nick Davis.

[Sanecow]

I thought he looked nervous, undecided and a bit like LRT when he had the ball. Nice work, Roosy.

Watching the game live, I thought the same thing at times. He did okay though and will hopefully have a good run in the finals.

[alison.z]

it seems is doubting his ability and showed especially at his shot for goal this he wasn't backing himself. he didn't want to shoot for goal and so he didn't back his ability to kick the goal. he needs some confidence and hopefully that will come in the next few weeks.

Not a big fan of the jet black hair.

I didnt think it was the same old Nick,but you have to remember that the eyes of the footy world(RWO/Little Footy/Coaching Staff) were watching and he played a little bit nervous and indecisive.His skill and game nous will return over the next couple of weeks,as it is a big step up from magoos to seniors and 6 weeks is a long time in footy.

He'll be better for the run. Maybe he was trying too hard to play Bloods football and nervous that any individual brilliance would have him labelled selfish.

Like the banana kick that missed by 15m you mean? Presumably just trying to show that sort of thing is no longer part of his game.

Agreed, it looked like Murphy in One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest post labotomy. Roos is like Nurse Ratchett you can win the argument but in the end you lose.

IMO Davo 4 sure.

Roos was on MMM and said he was pleased with Nick's game and mentioned that he thinks 6 weeks in the much lower tempo of the reserves makes it hard to adjust to senior level. He's confident that Davis will play a lot better next week but thought he got some nice touches.

His other options were? The forward just stood in there in a big pack.

Definitely Davis. Grundy is a good kick for goal except Davis can do that and other stuff around the ground as well.

Of course Davis playing ordinary footy is Roos' fault!

That is not what he said. He said he looked nervous and indecisive. As a Davis fan myself I am prepared to admit that like others (including Hall atm and Kirk all season), he is capable of some ordinary football. Never though has he looked indecisive or nervous. If his confidence has been shattered then we have lost something invaluable - the sort of self assuredness someone needs to do what he did v Geelong at the SCG last year is not in great supply at Club Roos.
